Belfast is a place where things need to be said. Following the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, the guns were silenced but the chasm between the Republican and Unionist sides remains wide and bitter. Tonight, in a small back-street bar, while Northern Ireland plays Poland on the TV, Jimmy and Ian will meet for the first time. They share a violent past and this is a conversation that’s been brewing for more than 20 years…

Quietly is a story about what happened in a particular bar in 1974, but also what happened in Northern Ireland from the late 1960s to the late 90s. It is a “powerful, “gripping” play about violence and forgiveness and the ‘spiritual lesson of time and healing.’ After enjoying huge international success, the Abbey Theatre brings this important new work to Irish Rep.

Show More Reviews

★★★★★ “The phrase ‘unmissable’ is often used to describe shows. This one really deserves it. Quietly puts me in mind of the first time I saw my father cry. The fear and vulnerability in this production is both soul-searingly honest and darkly entertaining. A true powerhouse.” – Edinburgh Festival Magazine

★★★★★ “The most powerful theatrical production I have had the privilege of seeing” – Metro Herald

★★★★ – Irish Examiner

★★★★ “GRIPPING” – Evening Standard
